Abstract: The invention relates to a device for compensating the imbalance of the material for washing during the spin phase of a program-controlled washing machine, in which the wash drum (6) located in a wash tub (2) carries washing entrainment means (7) distributed over the internal circumference, said means being hollow in form, and one end face of which, facing the wash drum, is provided with filling openings (12) through which said entrainment means (7) may be filled with a counterbalancing mass of water. An automatic compensation during spinning without measurement of the imbalance is achieved according to the invention in that the filling openings (12) of the washing entrainment means (7) are located on a circular path around the axis of rotation (19) of the wash drum, in that the wall of the wash tub facing the filling openings is provided with a passage opening (16) for a jet (15) of counterbalancing water, and in that the passage opening is offset relative to the circular path of the filling openings (12) in such a way that, as the oppositely-oriented imbalance increases, the jet of counterbalancing water emerging from the passage opening (16) overlaps the filling opening (12) of the associated washing entrainment means to an increasing extent.

Abstract: The present invention is intended to provide an image forming apparatus capable of representing a plurality of gradations by using dither patterns without increasing the pixels in the matrix. The dither patterns are stored in the storage circuit (14). The dither patterns have different numbers of ON bits corresponding to black pixels, and remaining dither patterns have the same number of ON bits which are different patterns. The dither patterns stored in the storage circuit (14) are matrix patterns which have gradation values determined in accordance with variations of gray levels which are caused by effects derived from adjacent pixels. Therefore, the gradation values of the dither patterns are determined according to the position of ON bits regardless of the same number of ON bits. The dither conversion circuit (12) converts multi-level image data to binary image data represented by the dither patterns. The image forming device (2) forms an image according to the binary image data and reproduces the gradations of the dither patterns.

Abstract: A procedure for the optimal processing of variable-cost actions such as encountered in the storage reclamation procedures for a multivolume data library (10). The procedure introduces a temporary processing queue to minimize idle processing capacity during the scanning and sorting of a large plurality of variable-cost actions such as the recycling of a plurality of data storage volumes each having a variable recycle processing cost related to the fraction of valid data remaining on the volume. Volumes (actions) are selected for the immediate queue according to a dynamically-adjusted threshold test for the processing cost. This processing cost threshold is dynamically adjusted to optimize the immediate queue in relation to the available processing capacity. After scanning and sorting all volumes according to recycle processing cost, the temporary (immediate) queue is updated to a final recycle processing queue by appending a sorted deferred queue to the remainder of the immediate queue. The procedure of this invention minimizes idle processing capacity during the queue-building interval, thereby optimizing the number of recovered data storage volumes released in a given time interval.

Abstract: A table provided with an enlarged sheetlike top supported in upwardly spaced relation from a floor by a leg structure which is fixed to and projects downwardly from the underside of the top. The leg structure includes substantially identical right and left leg arrangements secured under the table adjacent opposite ends thereof, each leg arrangement including a bottom leg part which includes generally parallel and upright front and rear leg members rigidly joined together by a plurality of vertically spaced and horizontally extending cross rods. The front and rear leg members have the upper portions slidably and telescopically received within individual front and rear upper leg parts, which upper leg parts and the lower leg members have a series of cooperating holes which accommodate a removable locking element to permit telescopic height adjustment. The upper leg parts have transversely extending upper tubular portions which project longitudinally of the table and are positioned directly under the undersurface of the top. These upper tubular portions, disposed in the vicinity of the corners of the table, are oriented so that the front upper leg parts have the upper tubular portions aligned and rigidly joined to an elongate support shaft or tube extending therebetween directly adjacent the undersurface of the table top adjacent the front edge, and the rear upper leg parts have the tubular portions similarly joined to a further support shaft or tube which is disposed adjacent the undersurface in the vicinity of the rear edge of the top. These support tubes in turn are rotatably positioned within hangers or brackets which are fixed to the underside of the top. This allows the support shafts to undergo a limited angular rotation relative to the table top which, in conjunction with the configuration of the telescopic leg arrangement, enables the adjusted height of the front and rear leg arrangements to be slightly different so as to permit the top to assume at least a small incline from front to rear.

Abstract: An electric gun driver for controlling a solenoid within a dispenser which dispenses a liquid material, such as a heated adhesive, for application to packaging materials. The electric gun driver includes a switch mode power supply for receiving a wide range of input voltages so that the electric gun driver is adaptable to various power supply systems throughout the world. The improved electric gun driver also includes a computer for monitoring and regulating the operation of the dispenser device, a power circuit, and a hysteresis band modulator for receiving a reference current from the computer and a feedback current from an operational amplifier so as to provide a modulation signal to the power circuit The power circuit includes two switches in the form of insulated gate bipolar transistors respectively controlled by gate driver and detector circuits so as to modulate the solenoid current for controlling and regulating the dispenser. The power circuit is controlled by the computer in such a manner that the solenoid receives a fast pull-in current and then modulates one of the two IGBT switch devices so as to provide the minimum required holding current to hold the dispenser in the desired position. The power circuit is also configured such that when the switches/IGBTs are opened or toggled to an off position, the magnetizing current within the solenoid is dissipated so as to quickly close the dispenser.
